The Siesta Key Association (SKA) is comprised of citizens, like yourself, who have a vested interest in preserving and protecting the quality of life offered by our beautiful Island. A Board of volunteer Directors, all of whom live or own property on Siesta Key, manages this non-profit Association. Our Board of Directors has a rich tradition of representing and pro-actively lobbying for the rights of the citizens of Siesta Key dating back 60 years. In today’s environment of growth, hard economic times, and static property values, it is becoming ever more critical to have an active body that represents the interest of all residential property owners on Siesta Key.

At its annual meetings the Association reviews its accomplishments for the year and its goals for the future. County officials may be invited to present current or pending Key issues. SKA sends newsletters and email to advise members of our programs and matters of interest. We maintain an active web site where you will find pertinent information, our organization’s monthly meeting minutes and the latest news, including a calendar of events affecting our Key and SKA issues pending with the county.

Siesta Key occupies a total area of just 34.4 square miles, 0.6% of Sarasota County’s 587.3 square miles. Our year-round population (approximately 11,000) doubles in season. Even with our seasonal population, we represent less than 4% of the entire county population. However, Siesta Key contributes 8% of Sarasota County tax revenue. This is 2010 data based on the County Tax Appraiser’s office and doesn’t include sales tax and tourism tax revenue derived from Siesta Key.
